... placode Genetic network Paired Fibroblast growth factor forkhead distal-less msxC Pax proteins are key regulators of developmental processes including specification, differentiation, growth, survival, migration and morphogenesis( Chi and Epstein, 2002 ; Dahl et al., 1997 ; Mansouri...

...Lei Xue; Markus Noll The Drosophila Pax gene paired encodes a transcription factor that is required for the activation of segment-polarity genes and proper segmentation of the larval cuticle, postembryonic viability and male fertility. We show that paired executes a dual role in the development...

... cellularization. Its establishment requires wild-type paired activity and thus indirectly requires bicoid . It occurs in a region of the embryo that ultimately gives rise to the cephalic furrow and may account for the effect of paired on that structure during gastrulation. Our results therefore suggest a link...

...Gregory K. Davis; Carlos A. Jaramillo; Nipam H. Patel Pair-rule genes were identified and named for their role in segmentation in embryos of the long germ insect Drosophila . Among short germ insects these genes exhibit variable expression patterns during segmentation and thus are likely to play...
